Skydiving Centre Rabbit Hole Rug

This is a Maxis Recolour which means that it is a recolour of an item that already exists in your game. Please check the Expansion pack requirements to see which game pack it recolours.

Description

This is a rabbit hole rug for the indoor skydiving centre. It has the same two interactions as the EA rabbit hole: Skydive and Tandem Skydive. Settings remain EA defaults except for the following tuning changes (applied to both interactions):

Small decrease in hygiene.

Small increase in Athletic and Trampoline skills. This would be apparent only if the sim already has at least one point in the skill.

Positive advertisement for sims with the Adventurous, Athletic, or Party Animal trait.

Negative advertisement for sims with the Couch Potato, Coward, or Proper trait.

The following role sims are discouraged from choosing these interactions: BeResortMaintenance, RoleCafeteriaWaiter, RoleHobbyShopMerchant, RoleLocationMerchant, RoleProprietor, and RoleSpecialMerchant.

Interactions

It is priced at 0 simoleons and found under Build Mode --> Community Objects --> Buildings. Despite its categorization as a community object, it can be placed on residential lots. It has a custom thumbnail in the catalogue. Like most rabbit hole rugs, it should be surrounded by some free space to avoid routing issues.

Installation

If the EA skydiving centre is not installed or was installed via the Launcher as a .sims3pack: unpack the mod as usual into Mods/Packages folder.

If the EA skydiving centre was installed as a .package: unpack the mod into Mods/Overrides folder.

Notice

This rabbit hole should have its own map tag (red background with a white dumbbell icon). If it does not appear, force map tags to refresh using NRaas Master Controller at Townhall -> Town -> Reset Everything.

The rug was built on patch 1.67 and has not been tested at earlier patch levels, where the EA code on which it relies might not have been patched in yet.

Resources Modified/Conflicts

The tuning changes modify the following resources and will conflict with other mods that do likewise:

Install Instructions

1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file. Now you will have either a .package or a .sims3pack file.

For Package files:

1. Cut and paste the file into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages folder. If you do not already have this folder, you should read the full guide to Package files first: Sims 3:Installing Package Fileswiki, so you can make sure your game is fully patched and you have the correct Resource.cfg file.
2. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).

For Sims3Pack files:

1. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
2. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Find the item in the list and tick the box beside it. Then press the Install button below the list.
3. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the content to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
4. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).

Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
